Frenemies
A Warning
People come & people go, with faith I let them in,
I take their stories to my heart, time ‘n’ time again,
a characters judge I feel I am, but fact belieghs the truth,
coz each time I’m hurt, wounded, shot down, the hurt crumbles my youth.
I say, keep faith, man is the god, of kindness, love & care,
but how much pain can one man take, how much hurt can he bare,
I walk this earth, in fear of all, coz each dalliance has a cost,
It rips my body, tares my heart, my soul will soon be lost.
I’ve smiled & grinned, stayed quiet, agreed, retreated from affray,
the demon anger, been suppressed to ease the painful way,
but still I’m stabbed deep in my chest, by those I’ve treated well,
please god release me, set me free, from this bad judgment spell.
I don’t require a gift, a medal, just a simple smile,
perhaps the odd kind word, a returned phone call once in a while,
they speak their worries hard ‘n’ long, my ear is filled with woe,
but when I raise what’s on MY mind, oh dear its time to go!.
I visit them at their abode, they NEVER visit me,
I guess I’m just not worth … the ten minute journey,
I offer a shoulder for their fears, my wise words heal their heart,
& In thanks they rip mine out & laugh as they depart.
So, Fuck Em, One & All, I’ve tried more than most would,
I’m not gonna waffle here, that I’ve been misunderstood,
coz that releases the bastards … from any blame,
they received love & paid with hate, let them bow their heads in shame.
I’d rather walk my path alone, as MY honour, can be trusted,
they may have had theirs at birth, but now its mouldy, rusted,
I feel nowt but pity for these devils with souls twisted & bent,
they take & take without remorse,
their souls … to hell … are sent!.
(Ps: those aren’t spelling mistakes, I’m English & that’s how we spell stuff )
